highly gratifying. The stern-post, weighing Is

Commander Evans brought to the Navy
Department this morning specimen OF

been bent cold, upon itself, under powerful trip

would stand severe strain. Commander Evans
failed to give way at the required strain he tried
TO break 1t without success. The experiment Is
regarded as remarkable. The sample

Further Facts Which Confirm Hi
Falher,S Belief in Foul Play.

NEWPORT, K L, June 1&-Mr. II. W. Clarke,
father OF Lieut.. Arthur H. Clarke, whose sudden
death by shooting on board the United States
Steamer lroquois at Panama, last month, has
caused much interest, has received from the snip
Dox containing the personal effects OF The ofcer.
Among the letters was memorandum showing
that SIX weeks previous to his death he wrote sew
eral letters home which were not received. AS
Clarke has always written regularly for the past
nine years and no letters have ever failed to reach
nome before, Mr.. Clarke regards the loss OF these
letters indicating that they were intercepted and
distracted because OF possession by Clarke OF In
formation derogatory to some person on board ship
which would also furnish motive for the murder
Which Mr. Clarke still thinks was committed.
MI. Clarke has also received an extract from
letter OF Lieut. Wood to his father in which he re-
lates that Clarke on leaving the deck to go below
laid down cigar half smoked, as II he expected to
resume 1t, instead OF tOssing1t overheard as he
would naturally have done II he had got through
with It, and went below to take his Life.
Lieut.. Wood also says that the second bullet,
which 1t Is claimed was fired after the first shot
took effect, was found in the blouse hanging up
n the room.
Mr.. Clarke claims that If this shot was fired by
muscular contraction, and in the act of falling,
that the course Of the bullet would have been
downward. Mr.. Clarke proposes to have his sons
remains brought here for interment.
